On Monday I had another eight year old come to the lab with her father for the SRF study. The session went very well, the only tricky thing was that the small table for the computer plus the little chairs that go with the computer were missing. It made the session take a bit longer as I was moving the table and chairs we did have around the room during the session to make it work for the computer and non-computer parts of the task. It all worked out just fine though. In the future if that were to happen I would probably grab the little table and chairs from another room, provided no studies were going to be needing them. The family didn't seem to mind the interesting set-up of the room and the little girl actually had fun moving the table and chairs back and forth with me across the room, so it all worked out! I have another session scheduled tonight, so we'll see if the missing table and chairs have returned! :)

The table and chair removal is unfortunate, apparently there has been occasional off site testing and the equipment is being removed. The rearranging is a definite option, if you can, grab the table from 61, it might help!
